Fertilizer Use Boosts Corn Yields in Maryland Tests
Maryland tests show alfalfa sprayed for insect control increased first-cutting yields by about .7 ton per acre over unsprayed plots across four counties including Baltimore and Montgomery. Two-applications averaged 1.71 tons per acre, with unsprayed at 1.01 tons. Benefit valued at about $55 per acre, with $30 per acre spray costs.

Dr Angus Hanson leads breeding with tests across the country showing 15 to 21 percent production gains and strong rust resistance. Potomac promises longer stand life and better aftermath yield, with seed scarce until 1959 and limited early plantings planned.

Popcorn Growers Urged to Exercise Caution in Seed Deals
Prospective popcorn growers nationwide are urged by William E. Smith of the Popcorn Processors Association to guard against speculators selling seed for cash with false promises of lucrative contracts. With depressed markets from the 1953 bumper crop and 1954 harvest, damaged by hybrids and lower theatre attendance, farmers should verify seed certification, contractor finances, storage, and pay at harvest.
